The sudden resignation this week of Tareck El Aissami, one of the most powerful people in the Venezuelan socialist regime, has shaken the core of dictator Nicolás Maduro’s inner circle.
El Aissami’s resignation, along with the arrest of his closest allies, effectively removes the PSUV faction he leads from the structure of the party.
All four have held different high-ranking positions within the executive and legislative branches of the Venezuelan government during the more than two decades of socialist rule, including Maduro prior to becoming Venezuela’s president in 2013 after the death of Hugo Chávez. Rodríguez referred to her father, Jorge Antonio Rodríguez, who in life was a radical leftist and founder of Venezuela’s Socialist League political party, which was assimilated into PSUV in 2007. Jorge Antonio Rodríguez is best known for his participation in theof American businessman William Niehous in 1976 — the longest kidnapping incident in Venezuelan history. Rodríguez was captured by Venezuelan police forces in July 1976, dying two days later.
